- 2:00 p.m.

NSSR's Anthropology faculty assessed its students’ MA exams to better understand their learning the program’s four learning outcomes. In addition, faculty reviewed acceptance into PhD programs and student success in receiving external funding for dissertation research as “indirect” indicators of whether students can “conceptualize and translate interests into a research problem that is situated within both the anthropological literature and contemporary or historical topics” using “indirect methods.”

Janet Roitman, associate professor of Anthropology, and Nicolas Langlitz, assistant professor of Anthropology, will discuss these methods and the findings.
